About the role

Our Client Success Manager will help shape how WorkForge supports clients for years to come. You'll own a portfolio of client relationships, use data to understand how clients are engaging and where they need help, and grow those partnerships through renewals and our move to multi-year agreements. You'll work closely with Implementation, Product, Sales, and Marketing.
It’s an exciting time to join. We’re investing in how we serve our clients, and you’ll play a key part in guiding them through what’s ahead. Just as important, you’ll help build what comes next: bringing your ideas for how we support clients, how we communicate with them, and how client success grows alongside our solutions.
For the right person, there's real room to grow: leading the client side of our transition, shaping our support model and renewal strategy, and helping build the Client Success team as we scale.

What you'll do
  • Client relationships and advocacy: Build trusted relationships with clients at every level of their organization, from day-to-day users to executive sponsors. Use independent judgment to become a go-to advisor, and bring the voice of the client back to Product and leadership to help shape our roadmap.
  • Shaping client support: Bring your ideas for how we support clients, and help put them into practice. That includes moving beyond a call-for-everything model toward tiered support, self-serve resources, and digital communications that give clients the right level of help at the right time. Provide training and enablement that drives adoption and results.
  • Client success planning: Build success plans tied to each client's business goals and KPIs, and adjust them as needs change.
  • Data and reporting: Pull and build reports on usage, engagement, and outcomes. Spot trends, turn them into clear action plans for clients, and share insights with leadership.
  • Client transitions and change: Guide clients through changes to their programs and tools, including supporting clients across more than one system at a time. Partner with Implementation and Product to make each change smooth, well communicated, and on time.
  • Retention and growth: Lead clients through the renewal cycle and support our move to multi-year agreements. Listen for evolving needs that open the door to expanded partnerships, and bring ideas on how we can grow long-term client relationships.
  • Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with Implementation, Product, Sales, and Marketing to resolve client issues quickly and support retention and growth goals.
  • Process and tools: Help move client processes from order forms into HubSpot, and look for smarter ways to work, including with AI tools.
What you'll bring
  • A track record of building strong, trusted client relationships, with clear, proactive communication.
  • Comfort learning complex software quickly, including working across different client setups and helping clients adapt when tools or processes change.
  • Confidence working with data: building reports in Excel or a CRM like HubSpot, spotting trends, and presenting findings to clients.
  • Experience with client renewals and retention, and comfort talking about long-term value with clients.
  • A self-starter mindset. You take ownership, need minimal direction, and follow through.
  • Comfort wearing multiple hats in a small, growing company, and an appetite for improving how things work.
  • Experience working across teams, and the judgment to adapt your approach for different groups.
  • Curiosity about AI and digital tools that make client support more efficient.
  • Strong organization and attention to detail.
Nice to have
  • Experience with an LMS, workforce development, or training programs.
  • Experience supporting or leading clients through a software migration or platform transition.
  • Experience managing complex or enterprise accounts.
  • Experience shaping client success strategy, such as renewal or multi-year strategy, support models, or client health metrics.
  • A track record of improving processes, and interest in or experience with leading or mentoring others.
Experience, education, and location
  • 2 to 5 years in client success, account management, or another client-facing role, ideally in SaaS or a software environment. More experienced candidates are encouraged to apply.
  • Relevant backgrounds include client success, implementation, LMS or training, and workforce development.
  • Bachelor's degree preferred, or equivalent experience.
  • Based in the Kansas City area preferred.

    Skills Required

    • Strong listening skills and a sales mindset for creating strategic, individualized client success and renewal plans.
    • Comfort with virtual technology solutions that support client relationships remotely.
    • Experience leveraging and presenting data analytics to drive client success and renewals.
    • Demonstrated success retaining and upselling clients in a client success role, including renewals, account expansion, client usage, negotiation, and long-term value creation.
    • Experience working with cross-functional teams and projects.
    • Entrepreneurial spirit, self-direction, adaptability, and ability to identify and pursue opportunities.
    • Growth mindset with the ability to set and meet goals, innovate, implement ideas, and respond to feedback.
    • Exceptional problem-solving and critical-thinking skills using independent judgment.
    • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
    • Two to three years of experience in a client-facing client service or success role.
    • Two to three years of experience in SaaS or PaaS environments.
    • One to two years of experience in direct renewal and upsell sales activities.
    • Bachelor's degree.
